Functional Exercise Design
Published in James Crossley, Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation, 2021
A client with a dysfunctional movement strategy is usually aware of their lack of skill and will often feel apprehensive towards the task. Apprehension is associated with an increased subconscious sense of threat and modulation of performance. The subCM sacrifices speed, fluidity and power for safety and security.

The Treatment of the Special Forms of Mental Disease
Published in Francis X. Dercum, Rest, Suggestion, 2019
In an ordinary attack of alcoholic intoxication, there is, at first, an increase in the ease with which ideas are eliminated; speech and memory are stimulated; the individual is talkative; there is a tendency to reminiscences, to jests, to rhymes, to puns. At the same time there is noticeable an increased difficulty of apprehension and comprehension and an undoubted diminution of inhibition or selfcontrol. There is an increased evolution of impulses of various kinds, sudden and unrestrained. Later, there is a slowing of mental action and the difficulty of apprehension is increased. After a while, the individual is no longer able to understand what is said; judgment is gone, language becomes exaggerated, boastful, profane, or maudlin, and finally ends in a mere jargon. The attack terminates in unconsciousness and stupor. While alcohol apparently acts as a stimulant in the beginning, it is doubtful whether it does not from the very first retard rather than facilitate intellectual functions. Every brain-worker will, I believe, admit that even small doses of alcohol increase decidedly the difficulty of intellectual labor.

In contrast, other participants recalled denying genetic testing offers by citing a variety of rationalizations. Many women chose to forego prenatal genetic testing, voicing concerns of harming the unborn child, “Yeah, that’s part of the reason I didn’t want to do it too. I just was … afraid of … doing something that like … harm the baby. And, just, it made me nervous.” Another participant expressed a similar feeling of apprehension, stating: [The provider] said “we should really do an amnio for the fetus, and you might um, it might have a problem.” And I was just like, “yeah, I’m not going to do an amnio because that could abort this baby that I’ve been trying to conceive.” One woman echoed this fear by sharing, “Like they get the amniotic fluid so it’s kind of like oh, this is scary, and I didn’t want to.” When further explaining the decision to deny genetic testing, another participant shared her thought process: “I guess the risk of, any risk to the baby was more than we were willing to put in being as we were. Very low risk of them being a problem in the first place.” For these women, prenatal genetic testing opportunities did not outweigh perceived risks or fear.

In terms of content, labeling elements (e.g. prescribing information) relay technical information required to use injection devices and medications safely – the mechanics of self-injection. However, for many patients, knowledge of mechanics alone is not sufficient to relieve persistent apprehension and anxiety associated with self-injection[14]. This emotional angst is well characterized and multifactorial, and includes concerns about incorrect technique, fear of side effects, lack of self-confidence, stigma of illness and social embarrassment, frustration with illness and treatment, and anxiety associated with needles[15]. Although patient satisfaction has been found to be higher when both knowledge and emotional needs are met[16], HCPs may neglect the emotional aspects of training[14], which can cause otherwise capable patients to never start or discontinue self-injection therapies [17,18].
Encountering an Exhibitionist: The Female Victim’s Perspective
Published in The Journal of Sex Research, 2020
Filip Szumski, Krzysztof Kasparek
Half of the respondents were not alone during the incident and a vast majority of incidents took place during daytime. This, together with the fact that the DTAI was not a significant correlate, demonstrates that the presence of others is not a factor that usually prevents exhibitionist acts. This is why it is difficult to consider the presence of other people a factor that makes the perpetrator’s apprehension more likely. However, there might be a subgroup of exhibitionists that mitigate themselves in the presence of bystanders. In those cases, this factor may make them refrain from more aggressive or intrusive behavior. What is more, other people present may also be potential victims, and daylight makes it easier for everyone present at the scene to notice the exhibitionist. Another explanation of encountering exhibitionists mostly in the daytime is that women use public places mostly during the day, e.g., on their way to work, which makes encountering an exhibitionist at that time most probable.
